Endowed Faculty Positions
Cameron has a greater number of endowed faculty positions than any other regional public university in Oklahoma. These positions make a direct contribution to the quality of teaching and learning at Cameron by enabling academic endeavors that would not otherwise be possible.
This program has been made possible by the generous contributions of donors, a dollar-for-dollar match by the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education, and by the McCasland Foundation Challenge Grant program. The McCasland Foundation provides matching funds for the initial $12,500 designated to establish endowed lectureships.
